[QUOTE=Ndigila2;843563]Will an answer of N/A suffice?

It begs the question, how much of pre-colonial Africa, outside Egypt and Ethiopia do we know?

Aha! Should have pre-empted that; I did see u hit back with that one. You choose not to know. Who says the written word is the only means of knowing? I know enough (Kenyan, actually Luhya) to make me doubt the authenticity of xtianity. There is a reason the likes of Rome still want Africa in an intellectual slumber. Poverty is a big vehicle. If Africans ever get a chance to stop and think about it...xtianity has no future. And I keep going back to that line of reasoning because u are unable to address the dilemma of the masses incapable of experiencing whatever you have. Of course u have admitted you know not. Which leads me to wonder? Don't u think that is reasonable doubt, doubt enough to dent xtian authenticity. The doctor/medical analogy is not appropriate here because doctors theorize their findings; can we do the same for the historical info we have? Matter of fact, it is so inconsistent we do not know when some scrolls were written, found or by whom.
